No river of crystal
watch the dirty water flow in to the heart of the wasteland
where even angels fear to go
Do not try to change me
do not try to understand
just take me, and take me as I am

Lay down next to me,
next to a heart so strained and twisted
and all that I resisted
was the chnace to really be safe upon this shoreline
and washed away in absolution
and all my revolutions have pushed me
further and further out to sea
just take me as I am
do not try and change me, do not try and understand
just take me
and take me as I am

For all my dirty water I ask you do not clean me
For all these chains around me, do not set me free
Let my rust and my pollution,
let my dirty water flow.
And you will still be you, and I will still be me.
just take me as I am.
